Dear Thunderbird,

I have been using Eudora for 20 plus years and migrated to Thunderbird after Mozilla took it over. After my donation, I have observed that the last update that you have done, has a bug.

I would always detach any attachments on my email and categorize them in my set directories for easy retrieval and I have these files since 1991. Off late when I detach a file it deletes it from the email, and saves it to my attach folder, desingated in the options menu, making my inbox file that I backup smaller and managable on a pen drive too. Now when I detach files, it deletes them from the email but the attach directory is always empty.

Please rectify this as it is causing a lot of files being lost.

-- with warm regards

Hi Kamlesh. If this is a bug (I don’t know if it is), you can report it here:

I see a current bug report here. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1979842 where McAfee has messed up the process. I also see this "idea" in the feedback forum suggesting another reporting a "bug" that was fixed by fixing their antivirus product. Again McAfee, and someone that is wasting everyone's time because they want to report issues but refuse to test anything that might fix them. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/in-thunderbird-140-2-0esr-on-windows-platform-the-attachment/td-p/104059

Personally I think the term Bug is used far to frequently and is thrown about before any real investigation of an issue is undertaken.

Do you use McAfee?
